Don't know what it is but found it alive in a previously unopened hen cape, can't be good. It's now in the freezer until I decide if that will be sufficient and if the cape is salvageable

Not great looks like a moth larvae. I would maybe try microwaving the cape unless some one has a better idea?
Looks like a carpet beetle larva, wooly bear.

Stick it on a hook! I'd go down the freezer route robbie
eew...where was the cape from robbie?
Pete, can't actually remember where I bought it. Might have been whilst at the fly fair or via Ebay but really not sure.
Cap is currently in the freezer, may also get some moth balls.
